It's actually a smaller and locally owned B&M and the owner is a great guy who always gives me 10% off my total purchase. My only qualm is there pricing...or maybe it's just me?

I was dreaming while staring at his vast Opus Coffins (Scorpion, Love Affair, Shark, A, Lancero, ect) and Tat Monsters yesterday when I finally got the courage up to ask how much.

$50 a piece for the Opus Coffins...and $29.99 for a Tat Drac, I didn't even start asking about the stuff behind the glass cases in the humi and promptly picked up a Tat Black Tubo ($11) and MJ12 ($10) and left. It just seemed like a lot to me, is this fair B&M pricing?

Fair is relative.
Keep in mind he has to pay rent and taxes in addition to the cigars.

How much profit does he need to make in order to earn a living and stay in business? Hard to say.

Good point. I guess I was just trying to see if the pricing was pretty much the same all around or if these were higher. He's a great guy and owns the craft beer store next door as well. He offers a GREAT selection of craft beers on tap in the cigar bar and it's an awesome lounge, I couldn't picture going anywhere else.
